For a moment...

The would-be challengers among the strong were all effectively intimidated into inaction.

None dared to step forward!

Even Yan Ying, a powerhouse of the Seventh Layer of the Divine Passage Realm, was no match for a single stroke of his blade; who among them would dare to advance?

While everyone was still considering their options, an icy voice suddenly rang out, "Do you really think you can steal the treasured heirloom of Mingjian Manor, commit murder within our Sword Tomb, and not have to explain yourself to me?"

The crowd looked toward the source of the voice.

It was an old man with youthful features and white hair, whose powerful aura was unmatched, having reached the Ninth Layer of the Divine Passage Realm.

Following him were Yun Fan and the woman in brocade.

The pair, with faces full of smug smiles, looked at Xiao Yi with a tilted gaze, Yun Fan said viciously, "I truly didn\'t expect you to gain the approval of the heirloom sword of Mingjian Manor, but sadly for you, the sword will no longer be yours shortly!"

The white-haired, youthful-faced elder looked at the Fire Qilin Sword in Xiao Yi\'s hands, his eyes also shining with a greedy fervor that he couldn\'t hide, "This sword is the heirloom treasure of Mingjian Manor, hidden beneath this Lava Lake, yet you had the audacity to steal it, a crime unforgivable!"

"Who are you?" Xiao Yi asked with narrowed eyes.

The elder gave a cold smile, "I am Jian San, the third elder of Mingjian Manor!"

"Does everyone from Mingjian Manor have no shame like you?"

Xiao Yi\'s expression was indifferent, "Your Mingjian Manor made it clear that whoever gains the approval of a famous sword within the Sword Tomb could take it. Now that I have the Fire Qilin Sword\'s approval, you accuse me of stealing your treasure? Do you think I\'m an easy target?"

"Humph, shameless ingrate, I am bullying you, and what can you do about it? The rules of Mingjian Manor are for us to dictate. If I say it\'s yours, then it\'s yours; if I say it\'s not, then it\'s not. What can you possibly do to me?" Jian San spoke coldly, with an air of arrogance.

Mingjian Manor is stronger than you, so yes, I\'m bullying you. What are you going to do about it?

Yun Fan burst into laughter, "Kid, if you kneel and beg for mercy, maybe I can plead with the third elder on your behalf and let you keep your whole corpse!"

The brocade-clad woman beside him ground her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Fang Qingzhu, "And this woman, I want her to crawl on her knees to me, begging for mercy, her face cut, thrown into a brothel..."

Xiao Yi\'s face turned cold, and the Fire Qilin Sword in his hand moved suddenly.

A flash of fiery sword light passed.

Thud!

The brocade-clad woman\'s body shuddered, her head soared into the air, blood spraying over Yun Fan.

Yun Fan, dumbfounded, "You, you dare to kill her?"

Xiao Yi responded coldly, "Keep your idle chatter to yourself, or I\'ll slaughter you as well!"

"You not only dare to steal the treasure of Mingjian Manor but also kill someone in my presence; don\'t you think you are not giving Mingjian Manor the respect it deserves?" Jian San said darkly, with heavy emphasis on each word.

Mingjian Manor presides over Mingjian City, and it is the oldest and most powerful sword-casting family in the Tianqing Kingdom.

It has interactions with numerous aristocratic families.

Even the royal family has close ties with them; isn\'t their status exalted?

Xiao Yi had dared to commit murder before him, and in Jian San\'s eyes, this was a direct slap in the face.

"Old dog, shut your mouth!"

Xiao Yi looked coldly at Jian San, "The rules of the Sword Tomb were set by your Mingjian Manor. You change them at your whim, treating us like monkeys? Today I took the Fire Qilin Sword, but what if someone else takes a higher-grade sword tomorrow? Will you accuse them of stealing the treasure, too?"

Yun Fan said with a sneer, "If anything, it\'s your fault for not having a powerful enough background. My brother Yun Lei is not only the eldest son of the Yun Family but also a genius on the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List, and he took a fourth-grade famous sword from the Sword Tomb!"

Xiao Yi mused, "So, to take a sword from here, one must have a profound background, is that it?"

"Of course!"

Yun Fan said, full of pride.

However, Jian San\'s face darkened, silently cursing, realizing something was amiss.

Indeed...

Upon hearing Yun Fan\'s words, the faces of the other powerhouses in the Sword Tomb changed, "The ones who previously obtained several famed swords were all from noble families in the capital, and if not, they were masters from the Heavenly Qing Dragon and Tiger List. That\'s why Mingjian Manor didn\'t target them, right?"

"Who would dare to come to Mingjian Manor after this?"

"So you\'re saying we common folk are just giving Mingjian Manor money for nothing? Even if we get hold of anything valuable, we won\'t be able to take it with us, and might even lose our lives here..."

Jian San\'s face turned furious as he slapped his palm toward Xiao Yi, "You mongrel, how dare you tarnish the reputation of my Sword Mountain Manor? Die!"

Hum!

Shocking Sword Qi burst forth from the body.

In Jian San\'s hand appeared a cyan longsword with an Azure Dragon coiled around its edge, which emitted a dragon roar-like sword cry that was deafening as he swung the sword, "Human Sword Skill!"

Whoosh!

The Green Edge Sword drew a beautiful arc, and in an instant, it seemed as though dozens, if not hundreds, of sword shadows came slashing through the air. These sword shadows exploded in the sky, covering the heavens and earth with their impressive might. Niu Dali\'s expression changed continuously, "Be careful, this is the \'Human Sword Skill\' from Sword Mountain Manor\'s \'Heaven Earth Human Sword\', you cannot withstand it with brute force!"

Xiao Yi\'s face was expressionless, with an icy look in his eyes to the extreme, "Soul Chasing, Life Snatching!"

Hum!

The Fire Qilin Sword glowed red alarmingly, and under the envelopment of Sword Intent, the actual Fire Qilin Sword seemed to tremble faintly.

Two beams of sword light collided like the tip of a needle against a stalk of wheat.

Boom!

The clashing sword lights scattered terrifying Sword Qi in all directions.

Thump thump thump!

Xiao Yi took several steps back, glanced at his palm, and saw that the tiger\'s mouth had burst open, with blood rolling down, "A powerhouse of the Ninth Layer of the Divine Passage Realm, indeed not someone I can currently contend with!"

He felt a sense of admiration for Jian San\'s strength in his heart.

Jian San was equally shocked, "First Layer of the Divine Passage Realm, yet he has mastered the power of Sword Intent? Since when did the Tianqing Kingdom have such a genius?"

Sword Intent.

This usually indicates a high likelihood of achieving the Golden Core in the future!

In Tianqing Kingdom, being in the Golden Core Realm would be a rightful giant, and the lord of Sword Mountain Manor was at the Golden Core Realm.

A chill flashed in Jian San\'s eyes, "This young man must not be spared. If allowed to grow, he will surely become a major threat to my Sword Mountain Manor in the future."

Whoosh!

As the thought flashed through Jian San\'s mind, his longsword soared through the air, and he said coldly, "Earth Sword Skill!"

"Heaven Earth Human Sword" is divided into three skills.

Human Sword injures people.

Earth Sword kills people.

Heaven Sword vanquishes the soul!

The Earth Sword Skill gushed close to the ground, sending Sword Qi soaring into the sky, and wherever it passed, several powerhouses were cut in two before they could dodge. Amidst the churning dust and smoke, the sword light headed straight for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi raised his sword to meet the attack, his sword light shining like cold stars in the sky, constantly repelling Jian San\'s assaults, but he himself was also forced back to the edge of the Lava Lake.

Jian San, with a hideous smile, said, "To think you have grasped Sword Intent at the Divine Passage Realm, your talent is truly terrifying, but as long as I kill you, even the strongest talent will be in vain!"

Hu!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi exhaled a turbid breath, squinted at Jian San, and revealed a cruel smile, "I had no intention of becoming an enemy of Sword Mountain Manor, but you force my hand, don\'t blame me!"

"Force your hand? I am indeed forcing you, what can you do to me?" Jian San snickered.

However, the next moment...

The smile on his face vanished completely, he stared at Xiao Yi in stunned outrage, "You, you madman, stop at once..."
